I remember thinking that since no horror movies really shocked or disturbed me that I’d watch one of the gore videos. I watched a cartel execution video and I was almost sick. I was utterly disgusted and revolted by it. There is a huge difference in seeing someone being killed in a movie or a tv show and seeing a video of a real person being killed. Because it hits you that it’s real and that person had a family. I still think back to that and how disturbing it was. Safe to say, I never watched any more gore videos after that. It still sends a chill down my spine. The world is a messed up place.

I thought of it as if it was some kind of challenge, always trying to one up what I could handle, thinking I'd become numb to it if I watched enough, I didn't. It was honestly a spyral with no end. I understand and in some ways respect the mission to "show the reality that most other places don't dare show" but I couldn't be happier I got out of that cycle when I did as I'm in a much better mental place now.

viewing gore sights definitely depends on you and your situation. for some, it can be extremely traumatizing. for others, it can be a reminder of what death is, and how horrible it can look like and be. i think about death a lot, which is why personally these type of videos affect me. i think about the person, how afraid they might have been to die. i think about experiencing that for myself, and think about myself in their situation. these don’t exclude suicide videos, just because you have an impulsive trigger happy hand doesn’t mean you’re not scared to die. it’s sad to see some of these peoples bodies to be disrespected.

Their head was half gone. They lived and the plastic surgeons made them look human again. How much that image has stuck with me is proof that anything worse or that wasn't shared for a good purpose (it was like r/humansaremetal) would never leave my brain. For me since I'm in the medical field it's not a big deal since it's literally the most graphic photo I've ever seen besides a sky burial I accidentally scrolled by yesterday and that was just a yikes skeleton with a raptor by it lol and I was like questioning my life choices of not blurring nsfw on my new reddit install lol. And like, when I think about that bear photo I immediately think of the "after" photo and the surgeons and the person and their family. I can't imagine having an image just chilling out in my brain where there is no "after" photo. Edit: went back to look at it, the before photo has me physically shaking but the after photo makes me so effing happy.

As someone who has seen the pinnacle of what people can do , from simple beheadings to children being skinned alive or having their heart ripped out of them while their alive in front of their parents, its safe to say that this content has desensitised many people (myself included) and has negatively changed peoples outlook on life. Some gore videos should be acceptable i think, such as those in nations at war that have mass civilian murder like in South Sudan and Israel or Palestine.

I remember all of those sites and it gave me a window into the worst aspects of humanity. The one video I couldn't bring myself to finish watching was 3 Guys 1 Hammer. And then there were the haunting animal screams from a low resolution beheading video. Depending on who you are, they can teach empathy. Because you have seen how bad suffering can be.

I understand that people began to accept the world when they viewed gore and death but I still believe that there is no worth to traumatising yourself.

Challenger (The Shuttle/Orbiter) would liftoff on a very cold day, which would lead to the following events. Challenger, 73 seconds into flight would suffer an expanded O-ring, and would explode over the atlantic ocean. all were killed on impact of the ocean. the event is most commonly known as **The Challenger Disaster**

[@Ungtartog]

I'm surprised stileproject is hardly ever mentioned in these documentaries. Definitely saw stuff on that site that I never need to see again. It still exists in sanitized form... pretty much just porn now, but used to host some very unpleasant and disturbing videos and images. One such was a video of a woman in some middle eastern country being punished for stealing something. Her hands and feet were chopped off with a machette, tossed in a pile, and then her stumps were torniquetted, wrapped in grocery bags.. she was forced to walk on her leg stumps, and then put on a bus by soldiers to fend for herself. I think she was drugged or something, because I can't fathom how she was conscious. Fucking barbaric. Saw that shit, like 25 years ago, and it is still burned into my brain. Morbid curiosity is not worth the damage some things do to the psyche. Innocence isn't all bad.

I never had a phase with these sites so seeing people going down these rabbit holes it was always more of a indication of ones mental health rather than how cool they wanted to appear to be. I also just feel really uncomfortable with anyone who can watch a lot of Gore videos without reacting since it seems like a clear indication of lack of empathy than anything else.

Signs of psychopathy to me

[@Stuntman175]

It isn't lack of empathy, more than likely it's simply just burnout. Your brain tends to disengage while watching such content as a way of protecting itself, repeated exposure to it ends up becoming something similar until no reaction is available anymore. Same thing if you start working in waste collection, the smell after a while stops being noticeable due to prolonged exposure and your brain telling you that everything is normal. The smell is still there, strong as it ever was, you just don't notice it anymore.
